Work and Health Programme: How you can stand out

9th February 2017

The new Work and Health programme has the ambition to halve the disability employment gap, but at a much reduced budget.

Successful organisations will need a clear and persuasive offer demonstrating how they will support more unemployed people into work.

Launching at the webinar, Learning and Work Institute will present our new financial model for the Work and Health Programme. The model is developed to provide insight and enable providers to forecast income, expenditure and performance in different scenarios.

Join our free webinar on Thursday 9 February at 11:30 to 12:30 to hear Tony Wilson from Learning and Work, Deven Ghelani from Policy in Practice and special guests.

You will learn:

1. What DWP are looking for

2. How to make your business case stack up

3. How to target support to help you to help more people

Critical to the success of the Work and Health programme will be the role of the frontline adviser. As well as needing an understanding of the changing welfare system and the different levels of in-work benefits, the adviser will also need to coach customers who may have barriers to work. Providers who can offer support that goes beyond what is routinely available to jobseekers will be more successful at winning and delivering the new contracts.
